"Anybody that wasn't scared or apprehensive at the time, they wasn't telling the truth.
But I came to the point then, this wasn't no way to be acting. This might be the time I go
see Jesus." (Video Interview, Part 2, 4:33)

Charles Blount was often the last person to see a paratrooper as he dove out of the plane
over a drop zone. "I counted them as they went out," Blount says, detailing the events
that took place aboard his plane in the early morning hours of June 6, 1944. From
Normandy to Holland to the Battle of the Bulge, Blount saw the beginning of three major
campaigns for victory in Europe. Wounded over Germany in 1945, he would meet years
later at a reunion the German Messerschmitt pilot who shot him.
